-NON-IREFILLABLE BOTTLE. 8

;;Be it known that JOSEPH C. BArnIi, deceased, late a citizen of the United States, residing at New York city, in the county and State of New York, did invent a new and useful rNon-Refillable Bottle, of which the, following is a specification.

. This invention comprehends certain new .and useful. improvements in bottles that are designed to be non-refillablefor commercial purposesand that are intended to insure the integrity of the contentsof the bottle, the

. samexbeing designed particularly for use in tions of the parts that connection with spirituous, or other beverages,so-called patent medicines, and the like, whereby the users of the contents of the bottle may feel assured that the contents are genuine and that they are; not being dece ved with something spurious.

The invention has for its primary object fa simpleand eflicient construction or device of this character, which may be easily used with bottles of ordinary or conventional design and construction, and whichwill be composed of comparatively few parts, that may be easily formed out of glass, porcelain, or similar substances that will not be subject to corrosion,

taniination. And, the invention also aims to simplify and otherwise generally improve this class of devices to make'them more useful and commercially desirable. i

With these and will more fully appear as the description proceeds, the invention consists in certain constructions, arrangements and combinashall be hereinafter fully described and claimed.

For a full understanding of the invention reference is to be had to the following description and accompanying drawing, in which Figure l is a vertical longitudinal sectional view of a bottle embodying the features of this'invention. Fig. 2 is a similar view with the bottle partly inverted, and Fig. 3 is a horizontal sectionalview, the-section being taken on the line 33 of 'Fig. 1'. Corresponding and like parts are referred to in the following description and indt cated in all the views of the accompanying drawing, by the same reference characters.

designates the body portion of a bottle, selected for the purpose of illustration only, and 2 designates. the neck of the bottle, the neck being-joined to the body portion 1 by a contracted base portion 3, the interior wall of which seat.

The improved valve comprises a main outer section 4 which is preferably substantially of inverted turbinate shape, tapering smoothly and inwardly on all sides, soas to snugly fit within the. valve seat formed by the inner wall'of the contracted portion 3 of the neck 2. Themain section of the valve is hollow,being provided wit-h a longitudinally extending opening tirely therethrough, and hem ,accommodate the other or ner section 6 of the valve. inthe form of a cylindrical stem or rod pro vided at its ends with head's7 and 8, the outer head being preferably rounded so as to fit snugly down against the outer end of the openingbin the upright position of'the .bottle so as to effectively prevent the liquid from'bei ng poured into the mouth of the 5 leading endesigned to complement-a1 inbottle past the valve. n

' The head. 8 of the valve stem 6may be of any shape desired, itsprimary function being to abut against the inner end of the opening 5 when the bottle is tilted to pour out its contents so as to positively jar the section 4 from the valve seat and at the same time prevent the separation of the inner section or stem 6 from the outer section 4. It is of course, to be understood that the stem 6 is somewhat longer than the opening 5in which it works, whereby a limited movement of the inner section of the stem 6 may be made independently of the outer section 4. p

9 designates a battle which is hollow, as shown, and in the form of a cap, said bailie being secured permanently in any desired way'within the neck of the bottle, as by, cement, or the like, and being designed to house the valve when the bottle is inverted and to prevent the valve from being raised off of its seat in an attempt to pour fresh liquid into the bottle. The baflie member 9 is formed with any desired number of outis designedto constitute a Valve This section 6'is lOO let orificeslO, as clearly illustrated in the I drawing.

From the foregoing description in con i nection with the accompanying drawing, the operation of the improved non-refillable bottle will be apparent.

v10, while the outer end In the practical use of the device, when the bottle is upright, it will be seen that the tapered valve section 4 will snugly fit within the valve seat with which it is designed to co-act and that the outermost head 7 of the inner valve section of the stem 6 will close the outer end of the opening 5 so as to preclude the possibility of pouring liquid into the body portion of the bottle, while at the same time the contents of the bottle will be properly preserved from deterioration by exposure to the atmosphere. When it is desired to pour any or all of the contents of the bottle, it is only necessary to quickly invert or tilt the same, whereby the stem 6 will move outwardly in the opening 5 and the inner head 8 will strike the inner end of the valve section 4 so as to jar the same ofi its seat, whereupon the valve may move into the housing or bafile member 9 and permit the contents of the bottle to flow past the valve and out through the orifices 10. It is to be particularly noted that the outer head 7 of the stem 6 is of less diameter than the outer end of the section 4 of the valve, and that the parts of the valve and battle member are so proportioned that when the battle is inverted, said outer head 7 of the stem 6 will lie within the circle of the orifices of the section 4 will engage with the inner wall of the baffle member 9 before meeting the orifices 10, the outer section 4 being thereby held from moving in the bafiie member far enough to Copies of this patent may be obtained for close the opening 5 against the'head 7 Hence, the contents of the bottle will have a free eXit through the opening and out through the orifices 10 and mouth of the bottle.

It is obvious that all of the parts hereinbefore named may be easily formed out of glass or similar material which will not be subject to corrosion or tend to injuriously affect the contents of the bottle.

Having thus described the invention what is claimed as new is A bottle, provided in its neck with an interior valve seat, an outer valve section adapted to rest on said seat and movable freely away from the valve seat upon the inversion of the bottle and formed With a longitudinal opening extending therethrough, a stem loosely working in said opening and of greater length than the same, and provided at its outer end with a head adapted to rest against the outer end of the opening to close the same, and a hollow baffle member tapering gradually to a diameter less than that of the outer end of the valve section and held in the neck above the valve and adapted to receive the stem when the bottle is inverted, the baffle member being formed intermediate of its ends with outlet orifices at points beyond that portion of the baffle member which is of less diameter than the outer end of the valve section and which is of greater diameter than said head, the head being of less diameter than the outer end of the valve sect-ion, substantially as and for the purpose described.
